The lines y = 10x + 4 and y = 154 meet at x = 15. The solution of the equation is the x-coordinate of the point where the two sides are equal.

How to work it out

  1. 1

    The goal is to get x alone. Undo the operations in the opposite order: first the addition, then the multiplication.

    10x+4=15410x + 4 = 154
  2. 2

    Subtract 4 from both sides:

    10x+4−4=154−4 ⇒ 10x=15010x + 4 - 4 = 154 - 4 \ \Rightarrow\ 10x = 150
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 10:

    10x10=15010 ⇒ x=15\frac{10x}{10} = \frac{150}{10} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 15
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 15 back into the equation.
